Getting back to normal just in time for the summer movie season to heat up here at Breakfast All Day. Thanks for your patience.
We begin with a super-early, spoiler-free review of "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," the eighth and supposedly final film in the action franchise. Tom Cruise delivers an even more extreme version of the insane stunts you've come to expect from the series. It's exhausting, and overlong, but fun. In theaters May 23.
Next up is "Final Destination Bloodlines," which is also insane, and fun. You don't have to have seen any of the previous five movies to enjoy the elaborate, meticulously paced kills, but there are Easter eggs for the fans. In theaters now.
We wrap up with "Hurry Up Tomorrow," starring The Weeknd as a version of himself: a pop star with a self-destructive streak who has an intense, emotional connection with a fan (Jenna Ortega). There's some artistry on display but the movie is mostly cringe. In theaters.
And for our Patreon subscribers, we have a lengthy recap of the last three episodes of "Andor," and more. We're gonna miss that show, but we don't have to miss you. Thanks for being here.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
